An equation for the reaction of: a) iron with steam 
When a metal reacts with steam then the products formed are metal oxide and hydrogen gas.
Metal + steam --------> Metal oxide + Hydrogen
When red hot iron reacts with steam to form iron(II,III) oxide and hydrogen.
3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) steam -------> Fe3O4 (s) + 4H2(g)
